To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JUAN D. JARRiJoU, a citizen of France, residing at Calle de Sepfilveda No. 187, Barcelona, Spain, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lubricating Devices, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for lubricating both stationary and oscillating or otherwise moving machine parts with consistent grease by means of which the quantity of grease intended for each respective part may be easily regul'ated. For this object a grease press is employed, which will feed the grease and force it through stationary and movable pipes into the bearings and the like to be lubricated. This method can also be employed for the highestspeeds and can be regulated. The present invention is exemplified in th accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 is a marinefengine fitted with the new lubricating arrangement. The. arrangement comprises a ease feed press and a p1pe systemprocee ing' therefrom and consisting of Ii '6. and articulated pipes.

adapted to con not the grease to several arts to be lubricated. Fi s. 2 to 9 are enarged views of detailsof joints in the apparatus shown in .Fig. 1. Fig. 10 illustrates another constructional form, in which .the grease which is fed by the grease press enters into a distributer, whence it is conducted through oscillating and. slidable pipes to the parts to be lubricated. Figs. 11, 12, and 13 are enlarged views of details of Fig. 10. Fig. 14 is another constructional form, the distributer being here fitted to the crosshead of the engine and being maually regulable and adjustable from a stationary. point. Fi s. 15-20 are enlarged views of details 0 Fig. 14. Fig. 21 is a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 14. Figs. 22.:and 23 are enlarged views of details of Fig. 21.

In the arrangement abcording to Fig. 21

the distributer is likewise fitted to the crosshead" the grease is fed through the hollow spindle which serves to adjust the distributer. The other figures show details of the various members. i p

In Fig. 1 the numeral 1 indicates a grease press or mechanical lubricator, which is directly driven by the steam engine. This Specification of Iietters Patent. Patented uly 28, 1914, Application filed March 21, 1912. Serial No. 685,182.

grease press will force the grease through the stationary pipe 2 to the joint 3 which is attached to the'frame of the engine. From through the pipe secured to the connecting rod, to the crank pin 9. At the same time the grease will pass through the pipe 10 branched ofik ipe2 to the main bearings of the crank sha t 11.

Fig. 2 is a sectionthrough the axis of the-joint 3 in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section on the lineIII-III in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 is an outside .view of the same joint. The joint consists of the body member-12, which has a base or flan e, by means of which it is secured to the mine of the engine. Into the mouth 13 is secured the pipe 2, through which the grease is forced. On the body 12 is rotatably fitted by means of a ball-bearing 17 the part 14. The joint between body '12 and part 14 is rendered tight by means of a stufling box 15. The part 14 communicates with pipe 4, through which the grease is conducted to the movable joint 5. In order to revent the part 14 falling out or the balls 1 becoming shifted from their seat when the packing in the stufiing box 15 is This joint consists of the body 18 into the extension 19 of which is fitted the pipe 4. The joint furthermore comprises the part 20 into tlxe mouth ofwhich is fitted the pipe The part 20 is secured to the body 18 ='n the same manner as has been describe 1 with reference to the-Figs. 2-4, namely by means .Of a ball bearing 22, a stufiing box 21 and a threaded pin-extension 23.

The movable joint 7, which is shown in Figs. 8 and 9 in axial section and outside View respectively comprises the body screwed to the pin 25 of the connecting rod,

and an extension 26 into which the pipe 8 is fitted. On this body 24 is fitted by means of the ball-bearing 28 the top part 27, which,

- the part 27 extends through the parts 24;

.this spindle is operated "Wheel 33 on its outer end and terminates by means of a handbelow in form of a valve head 37, which will control at will the passage of the grease into the passage. This passage will conduct the ,ary pipe leading from the grease into the bearings of the connecting rod pin.

In the'constructional form shown in Fig. 10 the grease is not conducted from the grease press directly and through a system of articulated pipes to the bearings to be lubricated, but proceeds from the press to a stationary distributer, whence it passes through oscillating and slidable pipes to the oscillating or otherwise moving parts of the engine. The pipe 2 leading from the grease press conducts the grease to the distributer 34,, which has a given number of oscillating sockets 35, through which are passed slidable pipes 36. Of these pipes the one conductsthe grease to the joint 38, thence it is distributed over the working surfaces of the crossheads;. through another of these pipes the grease proceeds to the pin 39 of the connecting rod, and the third pipe conducts it to the joint 40 on the. connecting rod, whence it proceeds through the pipe 41 to the crank-pin bearing. From pipe 2 is also branched oii a pipe 42, Which conducts the grease -to the joint 43, whence it is distributed through pipes slidably fitted in sockets 44 (the same as in 35) over the working surfaces of the eccentrics The grease is lastly conducted through a stationjoint'43, to the crank-shaft bearings 11.

Figs. 11 and 12 illustrate the distributer 34 in its several parts; Fig. 11 is a section on the line XII'-XII of Fig. 12 and the latter is a-section on the line XI XI, in Fig. 11. This distributer consists of several sections 47 which are joined to each other by means of flanges, and the uppermost of which communicates with the grease feed pipe 2, the lowermost section is provided with a base flange, with which it may be secured to a suitable part of the engine. In each of these sections 47 is fitted a pipe 48 the outside end of which terminates in form ofa.T in the socket tube 35. The pipe 48 is held in position by means of lock nuts 53 and the stufiing box 52; in its inner portion it is provided with a valve 49, which is 'controlled by means of the handwheel '50. In

36 passing through stufiing ends of the socket, and serving to conduct the socket 35 is slidably arranged the pipe boxes at both the grease to its destination. So for instance the grease 'will pass through the pipe 2 into the sectional chamber 47, through the valve opening filinto the pipe48, passes the valve 49 and into the socket tube 35 whence it enters the pipe 36 through the hole 37 in the latter, and finally reaches the respective bearing. It is evident that by simply operatingthe valve 49 by means of the hand-,

wheel 50 and without interfering with the grease press, the quantity of grease supplied to each hearing may be varied at will from m'l to a given maximum.

In Fig. 13 is shown in section the elbow 40, which is attached to the connecting rod. It consists of a body member 54 screwed to the connecting rod and having an extension into'which the pipe 41 is secured. On this body 54 is pivotally secured by means of the stufling box-56 an intermediate member 55, which'communicates with its outer leg with the pipe 36 leading to it from the distributer 34.

In the. constructional form illustrated in Fig. 14 the distributer 59 is fitted to the crosshead of the steam engine and reciprocates with the same. It'is, however, controlled by means of the handwheel 78 which is journaled on the engine frame. The grease proceeding from the grease. press through pipe 2 is conducted to the distributer 59 through the oscillating socket 57 and the slidable pipe 58. From the distributer 59 proceed several pipes 69, 70, 71,

72, etc., which conduct the grease to the parts to be lubricated, so for instance 69 and 72 conduct the grease to the working surfaces of the crosshead, 71 to the pin of the connecting rod and 70 to the movable joint 74, from which it passes through pipe 73 to the crank-pin bearing 9. By means of .the handwheel 78, thebevel gears 77, 76,

the guide socket 75 and the rod 66 the dis tributer maybe adjusted, so as to conduct the grease to each of the several parts to be lubricated, or to none at all or to all of them simultaneously.

The Figs. 15 to 20 illustrate the details of this arrangement. Fig. 15 is a section along the axis of the distributer 59: 'Figflfi is a section on the line XVI-XVI in Fig. 15, Fig. 17 is a contructional form of the gear for controlling distributer consists of the casing 59 having a flange 60 with which it is secured .to the crosshead. From this casing proceed any number of grease feed pipes. In the present instance five such feed pipes are shown. To the five connections are fitted the pipes 68 to 72, which conduct the grease to the various parts to be lubricated Within the cas-' the distributer, and Fig. 18' is a front view of the handwheel 78. This several pipe connections.

ing to the requirements of the engine. Thecone 61 is partly bored out in form of a duct 67 from which duct lead radially drilled holes 64: which form a communication between the central bore 67 and the These holes 64 are disposed in such a manner, that in five of seven possible adjustments of the cone 61 they will. make theduct 67 communicate with one of the pipes 68 to 72, in the sixth they will communicate with none of the pipes, and, lastly, inthe seventh bring all pipes simultaneously into communication with the duct 67. The'duct 67 communicates with the chamber 91. VVith'the latter communicates pipe 58 through the stufling box 90, the said pipe 58 conducting the grease coming from the grease press into the chamber 91. The rod 66, which is made of a square or any other suitable section extends through the guide socket 7 5, in which it can slide up and down, but not turn. By means of the handwheel 78 and the bevel gears 77, 76 the socket can be given a rotary movement and thereby the cone 61 can be adjusted into the desired positionaccording to the parts which are'to be lubricated. For facilitating such adjustment the handwheel 78 whichbears the names of the parts to be lubricated cotiperates with a stationary index 79.

In Figs. 19 and 20 the movable joint 74 in Figs. 14 and 21 is shown in outside view and axial section respectively. This joint is attached to the pin of the connecting rod and differs somewhat from the afore described joint. It consists of the body 80 which is secured to the pin 25 of the connecting rod. To this body 80 is rotatably fitted by means of a ball bearing 83 a second member 82. On the body 80 is arranged a socket 81 by means of stuiiing boxes into which is fitted the pipe 71, conducting the grease hither from the distributer. The grease proceeds through duct 92 and through hole 93 into the bore 94 in the body 80. Thence it proceeds through passage 32 t0 the respective hearing. The member 82 has an extension on one side to which is connected the pipe 70 coming from the distributer; in the face end of this member is rotacrank pin bearing 9.

The constructional form shown in Fig. 21 employs a distributer 59 as illustrated in Figs.- 15 and 16. But the grease is here conveyed to the distributer through a rod 86 instead of an'articulated pipe. This rod 86, which is also employed for regulating the distributer has in the present instance a central bore and communicates with the grease press by means of the pipe 84. The details of this constructional form are shown in Figs. 22 and 23, Fig. 22 showingan axial section and Fig. 23 being an outside "view. The casing 59 015 the distributer is also here provided with a flange 60 by iwhiclt, it is secured to the crosshead. It furthermore has a number of extensions to which are fitted the pipesleading to the various points to be lubricated. Also here the cone 61 is held in position by'means of lock-nuts 62 and spring 63. The rod 86 extends throughout its whole length, and has a sectional shape which will admit of the cone. 61 sliding along the rod but will transmitted to the rod 86 in the hereinbefore described manner by means of a handwheel 78 and the bevel I claim:
